Welcome trackerchik and krispye,

Congratulations, my name is Ruth and it's been almost 1 year and a half since I had my roux n y. I've been very fortunate, no dumping, although the first six weeks were the biggest trial. But then I'm not as young as I used to be .... lol.

Hope to hear more of your journey...

Hi everyone, I live in Courtice just east of Oshawa. I was referred in Feb 4th and go for the orientation on May 4th. I'm actually going to call to see if I can get in sooner. I'm hoping to have VSG but from the sounds of it RNY is more likely.

"Where are all the Canadians ?"

Unless they are on vacation abroad, I would say they are in Canada.

-That was an easy answer. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
